Mortars Kill 1 Child, Wound Dozens In Damascus
2014-04-16
[Ynet] Two mortar rounds landed near schools in predominantly Christian districts of the Syrian capital Tuesday, killing one child and wounding 41 other people, state media said.

Syria's official news agency said one of the shells struck a school in the Bab Touma neighborhood, killing one child and wounding 36 others. In a separate attack, another mortar round went kaboom! near the Mar Elias Church in the Dweilaa district, wounding five people. The church compound also includes a school.

Rebels frequently launch mortar shells into government-held neighborhoods in the heart of the capital from outlying districts that are under opposition control.
